In order to increase energy security in the face of rising energy demand and declining funding for fossil fuels, energy supply must be diversified and a shift to renewable energy must occur. Sustainable energy supply management aims to achieve a low-carbon intensity of production, particularly in energy-intensive industries such as mechanical engineering. The article investigates the possibility of transitioning the current mechanical-engineering enterprise system, as well as the technical, environmental and economic indicators of production, to the new concept of the "green economy", which will serve as an alternative to the industry's continued sustainable development. This article examines key energy-saving strategies. An observational 40-point model for calculating the energy risk of the mechanical-engineering enterprise has been developed, as has a sequence diagram of production and technology that takes into account the impact on the environment and the possibility of energy industrialization. This allows the setting of strategic objectives to ensure the sustainable development of energy production in the mechanical-engineering industry and developing the main principles of efficient enterprise activity. It has been demonstrated that one of the criteria for increasing the profitability indicator is the adaptability of enterprises to external conditions and the expansion of alternative energy sources from our own various information sources.
